Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Whitman are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
